I am not and never have been a smoker. I really don’t like the smell of cigarette smoke; however, sometimes seeing a group of guys smoking a fine, expensive cigar is quite appealing. I can’t imagine guys taking a “Mancation”, and there not be a cigar and a good drink involved. I did some investigating on Hauteliving.com, CBS Las Vegas and New York and found some interesting cigar bars in the country.
CHICAGO – The City of Big Shoulders


Up Down Cigar Lounge on North Wells gets an honorable mention because it is owned by a woman and hosts monthly Chicago Cigar Dames secret smoking private events for ladies to come and enjoy a good cigar.
LAS VEGAS, the Mancation Capital of the World has many cigar bars along and away from the Strip.



Beekman Bar and Books is on 1st Avenue at 50thstreet. While Beekman’s is a non-smoking environment, you can get your cigar smoking on at Max’s Tobacco Shop located in the rear of the bar. Max’s also offers Shisha service (hookah). Max’s is upon from 5 pm – 2 am daily.
So ladies, when he comes home with a smile on his face, relaxed and smelling like a fine cigar, don’t give him any grief, tell him to take a shower and change his clothes, he’s just been have a good time with his boys. If you have a favorite you would like to share with us we would love to hear from you.
Until next time, keep your EYE to the sky!
